During rush hours, you never know when a bus or a taxi might come. Walking might be too tiring. If it's about two or three miles away, which kind of transportation will you choose?
Bike shares are a growing convenience in many cities around the world. Riders usually have to pick up a bike at a self—serve station and return it at another station later. However, a Chinese bike—sharing company called Ofo, is bringing this idea to a new level.
Like any other bike—sharing service, Ofo users can get a bike at any time. Instead, they can pick one up wherever and whenever they please. To get a bicycle, riders with the app are able to find the nearest one.After parking the bike, all they have to do is to lock it.
This Chinese company already has its bicycle throughout China, the United States and Singapore. “We want to reach more cities, connect more bikes and serve more people”, said Ofo founder Dai Wei.
A. Thousands of bike sharing programs have been set up by the governments.
B. When a rider is done with the bike, returning is just as easy.
C. This month, 500 Ofo bicycles will be set up in Cambridge, England.
D. For short journeys, riding a bike could be the best solution.
E. The big difference is that they don't need to find a self—serve station.
